I glanced and didnt see a mention. How do we feel about Henry Ford from Virginia? I know Tennessee thinks they have him locked.

If he is drafted in the Top 3 rounds he is gone. They will get the money rightQuote:

yep- research how many Top3 rounds players didnt sign the last 5 years. It's an incredibly low numberQuote:

Ford?s power numbers took a bit of a dive this year. If he comes to Mississippi State and hits 20 HRs in 2026, then he?s a first round lock. The difference in slot bonuses for the late first to the third round is $3.3 million vs $1 million.
I could see him benefiting from transferring to MSU and playing next year. He will still have draft leverage if he transfers in.Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised if Ford goes to tennessee, as he is from Chatanooga, I believe. And if his stats were down, he might be looking for a different perspective as far as a hitting coach. I'm just looking at any possible angle here.
Is he expected to visit us? Or has he already?
Don't believe he has visited us yet but I expect him to.Quote:

SS is a much more pressing need at this time. Ford is one of those guys that you obviously don't turn down, but the odds of him being on the roster Opening Day are just not great. A team will find the money to draft him and sign him.Quote:

2022- Brandon Sproat drafted mid- 3rd...went back to Fla had a worse season but ended up in the lower 2nd round in 2023
2024- Ryan Prager drafted 7th in the 3rd round- went back to A&M- now is not listed among the Top 200 prospects on MLB.com
3rd rounders are going to sign
When and who is the next commitment?
New commit.......Ryder Woodson (utility) from NC State......Kinda makes me think we're not getting Becker but I could be wrong.........

He can play multiple positions and has two years of eligibility left. Good pick up!Quote:
